Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently visited Nigeria, and the couple loved every minute of their unofficial royal trip. As per reports, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will again plan to visit the West African country soon. Even though the country’s first lady shared some harsh remarks about her, Markle showed interest in visiting again.
Meghan Markle Wants To Visit Nigeria Again
Meghan Markle has expressed her interest to revisit Nigeria after a trip with Prince Harry. As per reports, the Duchess of Sussex reached out to the Nigerian monarch and thanked him for his country’s hospitality.
Through a DNA test, she was glad to discover that she has 43% Nigerian ancestry. Harry visited the UK for an Invictus Games event at the beginning of May. After that, he and Meghan flew from Heathrow, London, to Nigeria.
Meghan showed her appreciation to the King in a letter obtained by the Western Post. She wrote to the Oluwu of Iso, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, and said, “Your Imperial Majesty, Thank you for your warm welcome to Nigeria. Our visit to Nigeria was important for many reasons, but not least because it gave us an opportunity to explore and understand my heritage, which extends to our children. We look forward to coming back home one day.”
First Lady Slams Meghan’s Dressing Sense
This comes after the country’s First Lady Oluremi Tinubu took a jab at the Duchess for her choice of attire during the visit. She slammed Meghan’s dressing sense and commented on Nigerian girls who ‘mimic’ American film stars and their ‘nakedness.’
While speaking at an event in Abuja, the First Lady said, “The message here is we have to salvage our children. We see the way they dress. They keep forgetting that Nigeria we are beautiful. You can see what they showcase on the stage.”
Moreover, she also mentioned that they are not having a Met Gala. “The nakedness is just everywhere, and the men are well-clothed. So we have to do something. Tell them we don’t accept nakedness in our culture. That is not beautiful. It’s not beautiful at all,” she added. The First Lady then later added: “Why did Meghan come here looking for Africa? ”We know who we are. Don’t lose who you are.”
It seems like she made it clear that she doesn’t want Nigerian girls to get influenced by American stars. For more such royal scoops, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers!
